Frequency of BuildReference Update

[emhansonoh]

Looking to deploy some of the latest builds (GSM) which were released this week to address vulnerabilities. It looks like the build reference doc -- Get-DbatoolsConfigValue -Name ‘assets.sqlbuildreference’ -- was last updated 3/30. Is there a way to trigger that to be updated? I need the latest for SQL 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, and 2025. Thanks!!

https://dbatools.io/Update-DbaBuildReference/ to the rescue ?

That updates what is available in the repository. If you run this --> Get-DbatoolsConfigValue -Name ‘assets.sqlbuildreference’
That will point you to this which is where that update is pulled from. --> https://dataplat.github.io/assets/dbatools-buildref-index.json
Yesterday that was reporting 3-30. But, this morning I see it has changed to 4-14. "LastUpdated": "2026-04-14T00:00:00"
So - we should be good to go now. Curious what the interval is for making that update available.

runs once a day.

edit: WORST CASE scenario, it takes 24 hours to have the very latest data available

Excellent.... so purely a timing thing. That answered the question. Thank you for the help / confirming the expectation!
